- Woodpeckers are primary cavity nesters, which means that they create nest and roost sites for themselves and many other species. Secondary cavity-nesting birds, such as bluebirds, Wood Ducks, and swallows, cannot excavate their own cavities. They depend on woodpeckers to do this work for them.orthern Flickers are the woodpecker species most likely to try to nest in a building.
